The Red Raven defense reports to campus this weekend, and the linebacker room is expected to be among the best in all of junior college football.

 

Coffeyville historically features a top-tier defense each fall, with linebackers K.J. Johnson, Marquis Lane-Owens, and Vernon Dasher all going on to Division 1 in recent years, among others.

 

Head Coach Nick Dobler says this year's room has all the talent in the world.

 

Two CCC linebackers are named as Top 20 in JUCO by Noicey Sports, in outside linebacker Tavarres Elston Jr, and inside linebacker Eric Butler Jr. Dobler says he feels that a number of guys at the position will contribute this season.

 

Other Raven linebackers to watch for include Kansas transfer Wes Edison, Charlotte transfer Seven Miller, and Hutchinson CC transfer Dayontay Standifer, among others.
